Breathe In The Silence - ‘Hold My Heart’

Breathe In The Silence are the latest Welsh post-hardcore band looking to follow in the footsteps of valley legends such as Funeral For A Friend.

The likes of ‘Barricade’ prove they have a knack for penning a soaring choruses, and they ably dial up the aggression on the likes of ‘Promised Lands’. Ultimately though, this is largely lacking in memorable flair.

The unconventional nature of the title track offers the most personality. It may be the least heavy song on the EP, but it’s also the only one that manages to sustain its intensity while showcasing a level of creativity that’s generally lacking from the rest of this release.
